Sunset Music Festival Returns to Raymond James

Apr 09, 2013

TAMPA, Fla. – Last year’s
inaugural Sunset Music Festival was a huge Memorial Day weekend
success, packing thousands of fans into a parking lot at Raymond
James Stadium for a full day of DJ’s and electronic music. It
wasn’t Ultra, but it was also arguably more entertaining than
the national Identity Festival tour.

This year’s Sunset Music Festival, on May 25 at Raymond
James Stadium, promises to be even bigger. The first phase of the
lineup was released last month, and it includes some EDM
heavyweights: Top 40 hitmaker David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Knife
Party, Dillon Francis, Alvin Risk, Crizzly, Krewella and Morgan
Page. Also on the bill: Carnage, Danny Avila, Flosstradamus, Le
Castle Vania, Popeska, Pegboard Nerds and Tampa’s own Nerd
Rage.

Guetta is obviously the day’s biggest get. One of
world’s most in-demand DJ’s — in 2011, he was
actually voted the world’s No. 1 DJ — he blew the house
down at the 93.3-FLZ Jingle Ball in 2011. Aoki, Page, Francis and
Crizzly have all performed in Tampa Bay in the past year or so, but
EDM fans might be more curious about up-and-coming groups Krewella
and Knife Party.
